A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
Plans as above
Picture thoughts I am sharing are of:
Our Lord and The Blessed Mother and children praying. I find I am like a child asking for our prayers to be answered. I am constantly asking Our Lord to grant them and for the intersession of our Lady.
Blessings,
